Hi guys
Firstly let me thank each and everyone of you for unknowingly Help me through this year.
New years eve 2016 was the best ive had in many a year,my sister was as usuall ,on top form.
Little did I know that 2 days later she would be gone.we took her into hospital on jan 02 2017 and got the news on jan 3rd 2017 she passed in the early hours.
she went in with a stomach bug and never recovered.my wold collapsed ,right there and then.she was my biggest fan and loved the comments by you all about my music.For 25 years she took me to every gig I had and we lived next door to each other for the last ten years.
unbeknown to you all .YOU all helped me through this sad time,with your encouragement and gracious words.Music can certainly pull you up and lift you.
Sptemeber 6th would have been here birthday .So from the bottom of my heaert I will smile raise a glass ,give thanks for the times we shared and once again thank you all.

sorry about then long story but believe me its helped

I had to do this in one take as I couldn't do another but maybe one day
I wrote this for Denise ,good night sis I love you xxx

THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE


SEPTEMBERS COME AROUND AGAIN
AND THE CANDLES ON THE CAKE
ARE FLAMELESS STILL
BIRTHDAY WISHES JUST AINT THE SAME
AND IN MY HEART
I GUESS THEY NEVER WILL

IF I COULD JUST HOLD YOU
FOR ONE MORE TIME I WOULD
TELL YOU THAT I LOVED YOU AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY


I SHOULD HAVE HELD YOU TIGHTER
IN MY ARMS WHEN WE DANCED
SAID I LOVED YOU COS YOU NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE
TO TELL THE ONES YOU LOVE
HOW MUCH YOU CARE BEFORE THEY GO AWAY


I SHOULD HAVE LAUGHED A LITTLE MORE AT ALL YOUR SILLY JOKES
STAYED A LITTLE MORE SILENT AND LISTENED WHEN YOU SPOKE
WATCHED A FEW MORE SUNSETS WITH YOU
AND A LOT LESS TV
ALL THESE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE
BEFORE YOU WERE TAKEN FROM ME


NOW LOOKING BACK ON DAYS GONE BY
I SOMETIMES LAUGH I SOMETIMES CRY
THAT MAN UP THER NEVER GAVE A REASON WHY
HE JUST SET YOU FREE
I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS
I KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS
AND IN MY HEART YOUR ALWAYS THERE


I SHOULD HAVE HELD YOU TIGHTER
IN MY ARMS WHEN WE DANCED
SAID I LOVED YOU MORE COS YOU NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE
TO TELL THE ONES YOU LOVE HOW MUCH YOU CARE BEFORE THEY GO AWAY

I SHOULD HAVE LAUGHED A LITTLE MORE AT ALL YOUR SILLY JOKES
STAYED A LITTLE MORE SILENT AND LISTENED WHEN YOU SPOKE
WATCHED A FEW MORE SUNSETS WITH YOU AND A LOT LESS TV
ALL THESE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE
BEFORE YOU WERE TAKEN FROM ME

HI Brad,

So very sorry about your sister. We've buried three of our children - we know the pain. I won't belabor the point - this is beautiful! I'm sure your sister would love it. Wishing you strength and good memories.

Alan & Di
